From Foster Care To A Forever Home, After One Year, A Loving Senior Cat Still Waits And Hopes For Somebody To Love!

Mimi the cat, an 11-year-old tabby, was in need of a new home after her previous owner passed away.

She was brought into Sparkle Cat Rescue, a non-profit organization run by volunteers in North Carolina, along with her feline friend Rocco.

At first, Mimi was quite shy and uncertain in her new environment, but with the help of familiar items from her previous home, such as cat beds, blankets, and a cat tower, she gradually adjusted and began to explore her new surroundings.

After a few months, Mimi came out of her shell and revealed her true personality: a friendly and affectionate cat who loved being around people.

More independent, her friend Buddy struck out on his own while Mimi blossomed into the loving cat she should have always been.

Mimi now spends her days snuggling on her new dad’s chair and keeping him company while he watches movies. She even gets along with James’ dog, Suzie, who visits on weekends.

“Sunday morning, I woke up with the dog under the covers and Mimi at the foot of the bed,” James shared.
